We are very satisfied with our stay at Murchison. We went there in May during the autumn season so it was not very crowded. We pleasantly got upgraded from a Superior Deluxe Double to a way more spacious Family Room! We were super happy with the upgrade as we were travelling with a toddler. Having a separate room to let him sleep while still being able to do our own things outside the room is very convenient. The owners were also very friendly and kind. They gave us a bottle of milk upon arrival and gave us tips of activities around the area. Murchison actually surprised us with lots of nice walking/hiking options. The city itself was also very peaceful and pretty.

One of the best hotels we’ve stayed at in New Zealand. Boutique style with only a few rooms and personalised service from the owner Sarah. She went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and cater to our needs travelling with a baby.

Modern, well equipped apartment With washing machine and tumble dryer Perfect location to do boat cruise We stayed at a unit with limited view of the beach and is still good to view a bit sunrise Can walk directly to the beach to view sunrise Wish to stay longer, there are so many activities to do in the area. Beautiful Kaiteriteri and the National Park! Wish to stay longer.

Cabin overlooked the beach and sea which was an amazing view. Very quiet with restaurants a short 3 minute walk away. Very clean and comfortable. Small, as expected, but most of our time was spent sitting outside watching the sea. Good shower and facilities with a fridge and kettle. Loved it.

I love Nelson.

I love Nelson. Stayed out near Tahuna Didn't visit the city, but the area around Tahunanui has good restaurants and bars and the beach and surrounds are lovely and relaxing. Good spot. I also visited the classic car museum. If this is your thing, it is $20 well spent.

Kaiteriteri is a beautiful seaside village in the northern part of the South island of NZ. It forms part of the gateway to Abel Tasman National Park. Which is a beautiful unspoilt area of NZ.There are lots of boat tours leaving from Kaiteriteri which provide a large choice of walks or scenic boat tours of the national park. Well worth a visit to this beautiful national park.

We arrived in Marahau in order to walk on the Abel Tasman track. It is a small township, and we enjoyed walking down to the bay for the sunset. We had chosen the Aqua taxi to transport us up to the start of our walk, and enjoyed the efficiency and novelty of that experience. Just a warning to other travellers, By mid May, the little township is settling in for the ‘off’ season, which means that there are fewer grocery and eating options. We had been forewarned and had collected groceries at Motueka.

Takaka is a fantastic location that gives good access to beaches all around the area, and the lovely Pupu Springs and Farwell Spit. The people in the town were lovely and friendly. We had the best vegetarian burgers, even better than our Ferg burgers from Queenstown! We all felt so safe and just enjoyed our time there. The drive over the Takaka Hill was a great experience, both in the misty rain and in beautiful sunshine.

Collingwood and out lying areas have some spectacular scenery with very unique environments not found in other places of the world. If you want to learn some history about early NZ, this little place has bits of information signposted everywhere so forget about guessing who found the place or what kept the inhabitants there. Even the journey there from Nelson was interesting with multiple towns and side trips like Mapua, the entrance to the Abel Tasman Track, Kaiteriteri Beach, Pohara and Waipupu Springs walk which was wonderful, just to mention a couple of things we did.

We love this beach - especially in winter! It is also very close to some special places - Tata and Ligar Beaches, the Wainui Falls, the Grove Reserve and more - always something new to discover. Molly Bs is to be reccommended…and the cafes of Takaka are not far away.
